hi guys me and my friends are having a really big battle with 5 different people playing
any ideas on how to beat them
Thanks

mm this involves me aswel so fell free to pm me about the tau tactics

For the two marines, it really depends on what lists they're bringing. Marines can bring some really nasty stuff that's hard to anticipate without knowing them in advance.

For Orks, go for mass volume of fire and stay the hell out of combat range unless you can inflict alot of wounds fast. Tau should be ok in this part, as the Orks will pretty much forego their cover save if they want to get close to charging the tau. Just (again) never get within arm's reach of the greenskins.

Chaos Marines will probably bring in Berserkers and Plague Marines. Oblits are also likely, as is the Daemon Prince. Pack some heavy, S8+ weapons (Plasma weapons work too, and the ML is invaluable) to insta-gib Oblits and to deny the PM's their FnP. The Redeemer raider will be good against Zerkers, since it will roast them and help you deliver some troops into the fray.

Hey, welcome to dakka. With a fight that large there are no specific tactics to use, just general things like assault their shooting units and shoot their assaulting units. Basia game stuff like positioning.

Also people usually don't put their armies in their name (bloodangle/eldar), and Blood Angel is spelled angEl not engLe.

If you're up against codex marines watchout for vulkan, guy's nasty. However, for the most part codex marines are more shooty than choppy.

As for you, TH/SS terminators are never a bad idea.

Just focus Anti-tank stuff on the SM's Tanks (most SM players tend to squeeze in at least one Land Raider) and pump out as many anti-infantry shots. Forcing alot of saves on both Marines and Orks will work.

Punch the shooty things, and shoot the punchy things.
